101 in 1001 — The Third Go-round Halfway There

On August 12th of 2014 I began my new list of 101 tasks that I would like to complete in 1001 days for the third time. (First list ended 11/13/2011, second list 8/11/2014) until May 9, 2017. Christmas Day 2015 marks the halfway point of the list time wise so I thought I should monitor just how much, if any, progress I have made. Completed items are marked “Complete!“ with the date of completion.

I have a mini goal list to finish before the end of 2015 which is going to stretch my resources but here it is:

#7 Have a party. I know I will be getting a whole ham from work which Charlie and I will not be able to consume on our own.

#22 Say “yes” to everything for a day. I have tried this a couple of times and found that I just could not finish the day without a negative answer. This shouldn’t be so hard.

#33 Start sorting through my wardrobe which is sprawled out 3 three rooms. I have a dress I made in college — 40 years ago — do you think I’ll wear it again?

#38 Make a photo album of my mother.

#71 Finish the bedroom bookshelves. Unfortunately we can’t complete this project without our friend the carpenter whom I now refer to as “The Viking”.

#74 and #75 After months of waiting to tile the new bathrooms, we have a tile contractor who will start soon and hopefully finish before Christmas.

#86 I’m on a weight loss regimen which I hope will accrue me 5 more pounds before the end of the year. That in itself would certainly help my wardrobe situation (#33).

Welcome to The Glade, where the second generation of renovations has just begun and the mania about our home, music and other passions fill our days and nights.
We’re Charlie and Jo in the music world; Mary Jo and Charles to family; and JoJo and Charlie to each other. We are renovating a midcentury house in a Victorian historic district where we want to live there the rest of our lives. It's a 1946 house located in Maryland. We were married in this house.
Thus far (pre-blog) we refinished cabinets, added a window seat (still working on the cushion), rearranged a wall in the guest house due to sink/vanity replacement, planted a vegetable garden, and other quick and not-so-quick fixes. So this latest zeal for construction is the result of my having lived here since 1997 and feeling a need to ready the house for the next chapter and beyond.

i always enjoy reading through your 101 list! i don’t know what would be at the top of my list. i’d love to take 2 weeks straight off from work and spend it at home doing art and DIY! but that’s not in the cards.
